Good Morning!
Astrology is a map of our consciousness; offering us an opportunity to expand our awareness through experience in our daily lives. According to Stephanie Azaria with The Cosmic Path, “Astrology itself is not “spiritual,” yet it can be an effective tool for opening the way to accessing our spirituality. By understanding our psychological and emotional wiring (as objectively pictured in the astrology chart) we can accept and work with ourselves with more understanding and detachment. This calms the turmoil of the inner personality and allows our innate spiritual nature to emerge. And by understanding the psychological wiring of others through their astrological charts, we can more easily accept their unique differences without taking it so personally; we can learn to enjoy the variety rather than seeking to change others into an extension of ourselves. So although astrology itself is not spiritual, it can lead to important spiritual experiences, such as unconditional loving acceptance of ourselves and others. Astrology is a tool to gain objective awareness of your own patterns of behavior. We all have tendencies that lead to inappropriate actions and feelings of isolation and unhappiness. The trick is to discover our own “glitches” and empower ourselves to avoid them. With this objective knowledge we can choose to make adjustments that result in our life operating more smoothly.”
The Moon is Void of Course in Cancer until 3:12pm (MST). Lunarium.co.uk calls the VOC Moon, “That pause in the end of the story…” as the Moon is no longer making any aspects to other planets. We may be feeling drawn toward focusing on being less engaged in the outward activity of the world. Can we practice and enjoy being more of the observer; taking it all in without making major decisions? Walks in nature, mediation, or rest are all great ways to nurture ourselves and reconnect with our spiritual center.
The Moon moves into Leo and squares Uranus in Taurus until 5:29pm (MST). This high energy time brings inspired feelings in combination with unique perspectives. We may find ourselves motivated to step outside of the box; especially when it comes to breakthroughs around matters of love, values, possessions and monetary security. Leading with the heart while detaching from high drama is a good approach.
The Moon opposes Mars in Aquarius for the remainder of the night. Oppositions between planetary energies is like being on a see saw; when one side is up the other side is down. But, have you ever tried balancing the sides of a see saw; finding that perfect feeling of weightlessness with the other person? Collectively, when we are experiencing oppositions, we may embody one archetype of the opposition while seeing the other side reflected back to us through our relating with others. The key to expanding our awareness in those moments, and finding that ‘weightless’ place, is to become more observant of our experience; allowing a deeper Truth to come into awareness as we bridge the gap between the two energies. In this instance, the Moon in Leo, symbolizing the expression of confidence and creativity is opposing Mars in Aquarius; how we assert ourselves in a unique, solution oriented, group focused way.
Make it a great day!
